What a great condo! Beautifully furnished, fully equipped kitchen, sweeping panoramic views, and a central location to Lahina, Kahului, and Kihei/Wailea. The Trade Winds local store is small but has everything that you'd need in a pinch and is right next door. Walking distance to Buzz's Wharf, Beachbum's, and the aquarium. The managers were very helpful and friendly. Mahalo Nui Loa for a wonderful vacation!

Home Away from Home!!!!!!

This is my 4th trip to Maui and 2nd stay in the Maalaea side of the island. I will never stay anywhere else. The condo is amazing and I did not want to leave. I spent every morning on the Lanai watching the sunrise and the boats leaving the harbor for the days adventure. The kitchen was fully stocked with every cooking appliance you could imagine and we cooked an amazing meal for 12 on the grill! The bathrooms were remodeled with such care. I have stayed in many rental condos and I can tell this one is greatly loved by the owner. I love the glass open showers and the sliding glass doors that we kept open every night to listen to the wind through the palms and the waves crashing. Thanks you Susan and Bill for opening your home to us. It will never be forgotten.

Your Search is Over!! Wonderful Place to Stay!

What a wonderful week we had in Maui, and I have to say this condo was the reason why our week was so wonderful. As a frequent traveler to Maui, I’ve done most of the adventures the Island has to offer, so at this point I come to relax on the ocean. When in Maui I have always stayed in a condo in Maalaea, this is the 4th condo I have rented in many of the different complexes. I have now found my home away from home, this condo was by far more superior than any I had rented before. The lanai is the most important feature I look for, as I live in Phoenix, and I want to see ocean! The view is incredible; you can see the surfers riding the waves along with enjoying all the activity of the harbor with the boats coming in an out, never a boring moment. The amenities of the condo leave little to be desired, you have it all. Beautiful kitchen with granite counters, Viking appliances, and all the accessories to go with it. Both bedrooms and baths were lovely, you would think you were in a high end hotel without the high end prices. Being in the hotel business, people don’t understand why I would want to stay in a condo when I have some of the most wonderful resorts available to me, my answer is the freedom. When staying in a wonderful condo as this one, you feel more relaxed, even if you do not wish to cook all your meals it is nice to know you can have your coffee and breakfast with a view that can not be substituted at most resorts. Everyone we dealt with for this vacation, Susan the owner to Digger the on site manager were wonderful, you’re treated like dear friends. May your search be over when you find this condo, Mahalo for a absolutely wonderful week. Hope to be returning soon for a more extended stay.

Needle In A Needlestack!!

Date of Stay: 06/26/11 Review Submitted: 10/21/11

What a find!!! This was my eleventh trip to Maui, and I have stayed just about everywhere on the Island but this Condo was like finding a needle in a stack of needles!! I will NEVER stay anywhere else on Maui, as long as THIS place exists. The pictures absolutely don't do it justice; this place is beautifully maintained, very clean, and I wanted for nothing the whole two weeks I was there. Everything one could possibly need is right there in the condo, and I actually never wanted to leave! Although the Lanai faces the Ocean, and a fairly busy Marina, this place is QUIET, and is absolutely perfect for a stress free vacation, free from crowds, traffic and noise. I spent most of my time on the Lanai, relaxing, watching the Ocean, and just breathing in the plumeria laced air. The welcoming committee, Digger and his beautiful Wife Eileen, was second to none! These amazing people not only welcomed us into a candle lit Condo with Brudda IZ singing Island tunes in the backround, but they were a wealth of information as far as Island happennings and history; great people with great hearts!! The Condo is centrally located on Maui, so no matter where we went, the drive was minimal, and traffic free. The Owners of this Condo are the most accommodating people I have ever met (besides Digger and Eileen!) They bent over backwards to make sure that we felt like we were in the comfort of our own home, and we were made to feel like we were one of their own Family staying in their home; wonderful, amazing, gracious people! We were treated like royalty the whole time we were there, by everyone in this complex, and I can't wait to go back!! If I could rate my experience here beyond this chart...10 STARS, DOUBLE EXCELLENT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

A reunion with some good (old) friends

Guest: Rob & Judi (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Date of Stay: 05/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/22/11

We joined our friends in Maui and had a wonderful reunion in this condo. The view was incredible overlooking the harbor. It was fun to watch all the activities in the mornings as the boats get loaded up with divers, snorkelers and whale watchers. The wrap around lanai is the best and we spent many hours and many meals here watching the activites in the harbor, the extended view looking east, the waves and the full moon rising. Maalaea is centrally located and we were easy driving distance to all the activities on the island. We could walk to some local restaurants, coffee, ice cream, shops and a small general store for some supplies. There was easy access to a swimming beach and a place to take long beach walks. The condo is clean, well maintained and has a good support system at the complex for questions or assistance . The owners also responded to our requests/questions very quickly. The condo met all our expectations and we would recommend this property to friends and family.

What a wonderful week we had - our first trip to Hawaii! It is nice to stay in a warm, welcoming condo! It was like being at home, but with an incredible view in one of the most beautiful places in the world! We enjoyed watching the whales right from the lanai - and looked forward to the daily activity in the harbor. Watching all of the boats coming in and out was very fun! The local restaurants were warm and friendly and resonably priced. The property managers on site were wonderful - helped us with planning our visit, gave us some local tips, and were always there is we needed anything! Highly recommend the condo - nice central location to many parts of the island!

Honeymoon!!!

My wife and I had wonderful time in Maui and a great stay at this property. We love the privacy the condo provided, and Maalaea Harbor is centrally located from the Airport, Lahaina, and Hana. I highly recommend this condo to any couple or family for a vacation. The condo is huge and is located on the highest level with a magnificent view of the ocean. I priced and compared many hotels with a minimum rating of 3 Stars or higher, and the prices are OUTRAGEOUS! Additionally, the room and space at the hotels are much much smaller. The savings are 3:1 compared with that of any 3 stars or higher hotels. The host of the property is a super nice gentlemen by the name of "Digger". Upon arrival, he gave us a tour and informed us of the surroundings and activities. THANK YOU DIGGER, AND THANK YOU BILL AND YOUR WIFE FOR THE WARM WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME. WE HOPE TO STAY THERE AGAIN SOON.

What an incredible way to celebrate our 10th anniversary! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely space with us. Morning coffee on the lanai with whales swimming about was a fabulous treat & a magical way to begin the day. We are taking many, many happy memories with us. The palm trees will sway in our minds for a long time to come. Looking forward to returning some day Mahalo!

We came to celebrate our 25th anniversary and had our best ever time on Maui. The non-stop whale watching from the lanai kept us riveted! My only complaint is that I only had time to read one book-couldn't take my eyes off the bay long enought to read. We felt comfortable and private and the non-stop breezes meant the lanai was a perfect cool place to relax after revisiting all our favorite places. Mahalo-hope to be back next year
